how to fight cloudflare protection?

Post by lvm »

Recently sites protected by cloudflare DDOS protection e.g. https://www.linuxquestions.org/ stopped opening in Seamonkey 2.53.12 but not in firefox. Is there a way to work around this?

  • This Cloudflare crappola, it's a real nightmare nowadays. Image

    Personally on LinuxQuestions, I don't see this stuff.
    Image But on many other websites it's a real pest. If you do not use a mainstream browser, such as Firefox (last version, not ESR), Chrome/Chromium, Edge ... etc.

  • I don't know of a valid solution to this bad browsing sniffing bullcrap. Other than using the latest version of Firefox or Chrome. Image

If you run into the endless cloudflare ddos loop pick todays 2.53.13b1 pre from WG9s

Set network.http.sendOriginHeader to 1

Need to check if this can be set generally but until then change the setting only if you need it.

Yes, it helped, thanks a lot. The new twirly thing on tabs is annoying though - is it possible to turn it off?

Frg, I know it's a bit off-topic but could you check if latest build from WG9s is working correctly with DTA (3.0.9.2)?

I've tested build from 7th May and unfortunately it doesn't work.

Btw, I'm using 2.53.13 beta 1 from 17th April and there's no issue.
